ATI T400 pass thru connector

My 400 with an internal solenoid brake came from the builder with a factory pass thru on left side, where the kick down pass thru is located. I had to bend the tang to make clearance for the damn trans shield and I think I bent it too far. I bought an ATI 940340 to replace the one I bent and it's about half the size in diameter. Where's it supposed to go in the case?

If you have a transmission parts house (WIT or Transtar) anywhere close, they will have them too, AND may have a dual pin style so you can ground the solenoid outside the case if you need too

I know where to get the OEM type, but where does ATI expect their type to go? It's listed for a 400 or glide.

I bet they sent wrong one, we put stock style in ati cases and stock cases. It could have been mispackaged.

You might be right and I bought 2 even though I knew they looked different in the pic. Scroll down to the bottom of the ATI page I posted and read the description.

I stand corrected. The Reid and the Trans Specialties cases uses stock area for case connector. ATI has ommited it, and you have to drill somewhere on the case to get it through to valvebody area. Sorry for the confusion. That connector on their site will work for ati cases, you just have to drill a vertical hole in the case, above and beside where pan goes.

Yeah, I wish they'd make that clear on their site and in the catalog. I'll order an OEM from somewhere. Maybe I can find a genuine GM one. Do you know what brand you usually install in a factory case?
